La Jenny – Domaine Résidentiel Naturiste

Naturist Resort La Jenny, Le Porge near Bordeaux

We have La Jenny for a while on our list. We already have heard a lot about this naturist campsite, so we would mention it here.

La Jenny is a large naturist campsite located on the Atlantic Ocean, near Bordeaux in the South of France. Ideal for family naturism. Shady places through the pines. We have already been in that area and we know that the weather could be cold and rainy. Be prepared!

We know from others that not everyone is unclothed.

Like other French large campsites, here a lot of facilities. As a beautiful swimming complex with 4 pools, shops, restaurants and sports facilities. Private golf course (10 ha). Principles mastered Yoga, fitness and sauna. There are many activities for children. music in the evening, cabaret and circus demonstrations. These pools are not redundant. The water of the ocean can be quite turbulent.

This campsite is large, so take a bike or rent one. And you can use the bike to go to the beautiful sandy beach.

This campsite is intended that you rent a chalet. And there are many types of. Whether there are tent sites is unclear to us. Because of the weather we would prefer a chalet to hire.

The area has much to offer. Not far away you’ll find Bordeaux. The city has been restored. Especially the shore side is very special. Magnificent mansions, nice boulevard and of course the tram. Also a city for fun shopping.

Near the campsite you will find The Bay of Arcachon and Cap Ferrat. Enjoyable and beautiful nature. The hinterland of La Jenny is the famous Medoc, famous for its wines. An area where you do not get bored.

Large, well maintained and tidy grounds with only houses (different size, private owners), beautifully spacious landscaped in the hilly forest. Cottages are good private. Nice pool, quiet beach within walking distance. Rest and if you want: entertainment, supermarket (pricey), shops and restaurant.

But … note the additional costs: obligatory club card for the “free entertainment” (entry pool, aqua gym, yoga), there is also paid golf and fitness. Sunbeds at your house (elsewhere, standard) 43, = per 2/2wk. “unlimited wifi” for 35, = / 2wk. but only at reception (10-18h) or salle internet (8-20h), but a long walk from your house and only during the day.

After a few years ago to have hired at La Chiappa (Corsica) a house we were looking for a more luxury house. We found that at Jenny. MUCH better equipped, also much larger. For children (2 + 4) fine play opportunities, both in the park and directly at the bungalow.

Despite the often warm weather it cooled down in the evening because of the sea breeze. The beach is fantastic, infinitely large, clean. Children were excited and adults need to be careful. Waves and currents can be dangerous. There is usually present surveillance on the beach in the vicinity of the beach.

On the premises of the pools (also paddling pool) were fine, but in our opinion still a bit too cold. We have eaten in the restaurant but in the surrounding villages we have eaten better and cheaper.

Furthermore there are people who are not naked. Not that it concerns us do, but it is slightly different atmosphere as those in other areas. The beach is for naturists.

The shopping facilities are extensive, but very expensive. It is much smarter to shop .. in the super marche in the villages near by.
